I'm not sure if this headline meets the criteria for not the onion.
If quitting your site can be taken as virtue signaling against misinformation and bigotry, your site may have some systemic issues.
Well then, since 2016 I've been a Virtue signaling mother fucker. Fuck Zuck!
The phrase "virtue signalling" is itself a form of virtue signalling 😏
My app is failing to load this media :(
It's a scene from The Simpsons with Lisa telling Linguo, "'Sentence fragment' is also a sentence fragment."
I'm not "virtue signaling" I'm tired. I'm tired of the ads.
I'm tired of the algorithm intentionally fueling flame wars.
I'm tired of INESCAPABLE "meme pages," run by spam bots, that just recycle the same tired shit over and over and over again.
I'm tired of the THREE different video systems that are inexplicably not interoperable. Reels, Facebook Live, and video Instagram posts all showing up in my timeline but all are part of separate systems. Meanwhile, if I share a link to a YouTube video, it gets suppressed by the almighty algorithm. Because how dare I show my followers/friends something they'd might like to see if it takes their eyeballs away from Facebook.
Finally, I'm tired of companies selling people like me down the river to score political points with chuds.
I literally cannot stop getting "support our troops" or other "MAGA" style shit right now. Also random Zionist pages. I've never "liked" any of them, I've hit "hide posts like this" a million times, nothing fixes it. And if you actually tried to contradict people on those posts, I mean, the ones that get sent to you have 10,000 comments, you're just shouting into the void.
Looks like he is starting to follow Elon down into the rabbit hole off asshattery.
He’s been an asshat at least as far back as when he was enrolled at Harvard. Facebook was originally called Facemash, a “hot or not” clone for guys at Harvard to rate the attractiveness of their female classmates (without consent).
Starting to? He's been on that road at least as long as musk of not before.
Yeah, Zuckerberg is a leading alt-right figure since, like, what is it, January 15th now, so I think that was January 11th.
Guess I was "virtue signalling" back before the term was even coined.
This is the same guy who has called people 'dumbasses' at one point for trusting him.
Which is it, Asspuckerberg? Is everyone a 'dumbass' for having joined you and your shitty platforms in the first place or is everyone 'virtue signaling' because they've finally grown tired of it? Sounds to me, one of these paths has the high road, so yes, I'll gladly do it in the name of virtue-signaling. A signaling of how that there's mountains of your bullshit that can't be withstood anymore.
Not just dumbass. He called them "dumb fucks" for trusting him and his site.
Yes, we are. You are still losing users.
sounds like he recently received a magadouche orientation and is going through the lexicon
Lemmy user says anyone who doesn't quit being CEO of Meta is 'guillotine signaling'
Fuck you Zuck. Leaving Facebook has been great for me, it's not virtue signaling, it's a quality of life improvement.
Ass.
lol
Eat turds Zuck
Some def are. Some even started using hashtags to signal, lol.
Virtue signaling is a good thing. The problem is lack of virtue, not presence of signals.
What I love most about the phrase "virtue signaling" is that when people accuse you of it they are themselves virtue signaling.
I like the term vice signaling, which is what they do all the time. at least I get virtue signaling. but these people are like "hey look how terrible I am" and it's just baffling.
What a fucking loser.
Zuckerberg reportedly decided to do away with censorship mechanisms at Meta after a seemingly innocuous photo that he posted on Facebook in November 2023 about the surgery that was performed on his left anterior cruciate ligament failed to go viral,
pathetic
I never saw a post from him on Facebook, I was wondering if he even posted..
As opposed to signalling that you have none.
Says the guy who suddenly started hitting all the typical shithead slogans and talking point as soon as it seemed beneficial.
"It seems free speech is back on the menu." - paraphrased, but that's basically what he said. The Democrats were keeping free speech down!
Right? Wasn't he super busy with "de-lizarding" and trying to be the cool friendly billionaire? That took a turn quickly lmao.
Even if they are, they still have fucking virtues, unlike your robotic ass, Zuck.
It's called being a political consumer, you dipshit
